Class DelayTimer

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.lang.Thread
      extended by net.sourceforge.hivegui.autowait.DelayTimer
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Runnable

public class DelayTimer
extends java.lang.Thread

This class implements a delay timer that will call trigger() on the DelayTimerCallback delay milliseconds after startTimer() was called, if stopTimer() was not called first. The timer will only throw events after startTimer() is called. Until then, it does nothing. It is safe to call stopTimer() and startTimer() repeatedly. Note that calls to trigger() will happen on the timer thread. This class is multiple-thread safe.
